Latest / The Death Of Journalism / Episode One Hundred Eighty Three: You Can't Handle The Truth
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to episode number one hundred and eighty three of
- 0:03Speaker 1: the Death of Journalism podcast. My name is John Zigler.
- 0:05Speaker 1: I'm your host on today's show. Democrats love Joe Biden
- 0:09Speaker 1: so much that they forced him to speak at their
- 0:12Speaker 1: convention way after bedtime. CNN and Nancy Pelosi conspire in
- 0:18Speaker 1: one of the most bonkers and telling cable news moments
- 0:22Speaker 1: of the year. New polling should shift Trump's strategy, but
- 0:28Speaker 1: will it? And somehow Jerry Sandusky's name gets brought up
- 0:33Speaker 1: in the Tim Waltz narrative. As we tape episode number
- 0:38Speaker 1: one hundred and three of the Death of Journalism podcast,
- 0:41Speaker 1: we are through two nights of the Democratic National Convention.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I want to start by talking about what happened on
- 0:49Speaker 1: night number one, which was supposed to be devoted to
- 0:52Speaker 1: President Joe Biden and his legacy, and thanking him for
- 0:56Speaker 1: his work and most importantly, thanking him for remaining wat
- 1:00Speaker 1: as they pull off this remarkable coup, while still pretending
- 1:06Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is the greatest president ever, that Kamala
- 1:09Speaker 1: Harris had nothing to do with the coup, that this
- 1:12Speaker 1: just all sort of happened naturally. He did this selflessly.
- 1:16Speaker 1: He wasn't forced to do it. I mean, this is
- 1:18Speaker 1: all required Simone Biles level gymnastics to pull this off.
- 1:23Speaker 1: But thanks to the media being complicit in this scam,
- 1:27Speaker 1: it appears as if the Democrats have indeed been able
- 1:30Speaker 1: to navigate through this maze. Amazed that even I didn't
- 1:34Speaker 1: think they could possibly get through without any sort of harm.
- 1:38Speaker 1: But the last portion of this boondoggle was to have
- 1:43Speaker 1: Joe Biden speak in the first night of the Democratic
- 1:46Speaker 1: National Convention and have everyone cheer and hold up signs
- 1:51Speaker 1: that say we love Joe and basically kiss his ass.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Because the last bit of leverage that Joe Biden still has,
- 1:59Speaker 1: which is against his own self interest from a legacy
- 2:02Speaker 1: perspective at this point, especially with Kamala Harris seemingly leading
- 2:06Speaker 1: in the polls, is for him to voice some level
- 2:09Speaker 1: of anger about what happened to him, which he clearly
- 2:13Speaker 1: has to have, There's no question about that, because he
- 2:17Speaker 1: got totally screwed over. I think he got blindsided. I
- 2:21Speaker 1: think he was very naive. I think he didn't realize
- 2:25Speaker 1: just how far the Nancy Pelosis of the world were
- 2:29Speaker 1: willing to go to take him out. And then, as
- 2:31Speaker 1: I've said, many times before, although very few people have
- 2:34Speaker 1: made these were seemingly rather obvious connections, at least not
- 2:38Speaker 1: that I've heard. But it seems to me as if
- 2:41Speaker 1: it was a combination of the bad polling, the assassination
- 2:45Speaker 1: attempt on Donald Trump, and Biden getting COVID all at
- 2:50Speaker 1: the same time when they ran up against the clock
- 2:54Speaker 1: and it was just too much for the old man
- 2:57Speaker 1: and he finally gave up his car keys. But this
- 3:00Speaker 1: first night of the Democratic Convention was really quite amazing
- 3:04Speaker 1: from the perspective of what Democrats were trying to pull
- 3:08Speaker 1: off and how seemingly open they were with regard to
- 3:13Speaker 1: their hypocrisy when it came to respect for Joe Biden, right,
- 3:17Speaker 1: because we're told, first of all, this is a guy who,
- 3:21Speaker 1: in his own words, has said he doesn't perform particularly
- 3:23Speaker 1: well after eight pm, and then he needs to change
- 3:27Speaker 1: his schedule to accommodate for that. And here they don't
- 3:31Speaker 1: introduce Joe Biden until eleven twenty five Eastern time. Now,
- 3:39Speaker 1: to be fair, the conventions in Chicago, so it's ten
- 3:42Speaker 1: to twenty five local time, But you know, he lives
- 3:46Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. And from a TV perspective, you
- 3:50Speaker 1: know that's what really matters. What's prime time, and prime
- 3:54Speaker 1: time is not past eleven twenty five on the East Coast,
- 4:00Speaker 1: that's where most of your television audience is. And the
- 4:04Speaker 1: Democrats led virtually everybody speak. By the way, it's important
- 4:08Speaker 1: to point out the networks allowed the Democratic speakers in
- 4:12Speaker 1: the first two nights to be able to speak unfettered, uninterrupted,
- 4:17Speaker 1: something they did not do during the Republican Convention, and
- 4:21Speaker 1: Democrats took advantage of that. But Democrats also clearly had
- 4:24Speaker 1: no fear of the networks cutting them off when there
- 4:29Speaker 1: a lot of time had been used. I mean, they
- 4:33Speaker 1: went over an hour past what was scheduled with regard
- 4:37Speaker 1: to network television programming, Democrats know they're not going to
- 4:41Speaker 1: get screwed over by the networks, especially when the President
- 4:44Speaker 1: of the United States is scheduled to speak. But it
- 4:48Speaker 1: was absolutely hilarious. Even The Daily Show did a pretty
- 4:52Speaker 1: funny bit mocking Democrats for what they did to Joe
- 4:56Speaker 1: Biden in having him speak so unbelievably late. It was
- 5:01Speaker 1: just remarkably disrespectful, especially considering all the circumstances that are
- 5:06Speaker 1: at play here. Now, did they do this on purpose
- 5:10Speaker 1: or was this just bad planning and bad execution and
- 5:13Speaker 1: people ran over, which tends to happen in conventions. I
- 5:17Speaker 1: don't know. I realized that the cynics out there, the
- 5:20Speaker 1: conspiracy people out there, think that Democrats did this on purpose,
- 5:25Speaker 1: not necessarily as an overt act of disrespect against Joe Biden,
- 5:28Speaker 1: but simply because they don't want people watching Joe Biden.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy that. I really don't,
- 5:35Speaker 1: because I do think that his endorsement of Kamala Harris
- 5:38Speaker 1: still matters. I think it's important for party unity. I
- 5:42Speaker 1: think there are still some semblances of elements of the
- 5:46Speaker 1: Democratic Party that are a little bit uneasy about how
- 5:49Speaker 1: this happened, not nearly as large a contingent of people
- 5:52Speaker 1: that should be there if the Democrats weren't a bunch
- 5:55Speaker 1: of complete and total hypocrites on the democracy issue and
- 5:59Speaker 1: the hypo hypocrisy of just the entire issue. Loved Joe Biden,
- 6:04Speaker 1: but we're desperate to get rid of him. That just
- 6:07Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me. Not the politics always
- 6:10Speaker 1: makes sense in this day and age. I'm always one
- 6:13Speaker 1: that's gonna blame and competence over conspiracy. But regardless of
- 6:18Speaker 1: whether it was competence, conspiracy, or a little bit of both.
- 6:21Speaker 1: It was unbelievably disrespectful, and Biden ends up speaking for
- 6:27Speaker 1: a very long time, much longer than I expected, especially
- 6:30Speaker 1: given the late hour. And of course, you know, Biden
- 6:36Speaker 1: told all sorts of lies. One of the many incredibly
- 6:41Speaker 1: frustrating elements of the coverage of Joe Biden is this
- 6:45Speaker 1: idea that because he was old and infirmed, that somehow
- 6:49Speaker 1: he's a good man of character and he's honest and
- 6:52Speaker 1: at least tells the truth. That is just such a
- 6:54Speaker 1: bullshit narrative. And he lied numerous times. Once he finally
- 7:00Speaker 1: got a chance to speak at the Democratic Invention, he
- 7:03Speaker 1: retold the Charlottesville Trump lie yet again. It never gets
- 7:08Speaker 1: corrected by the mainstream news media. It is as blatant
- 7:12Speaker 1: a lie as it gets. It's a myth. I would
- 7:15Speaker 1: really honestly love to know whether or not Biden believes it.
- 7:19Speaker 1: My guess is he really believes it because no one
- 7:22Speaker 1: around him has ever told him. Hey, even liberal fact
- 7:25Speaker 1: checkers have declared this to be a fake narrative, a hoax.
- 7:30Speaker 1: It didn't happen. He wasn't referring to the white supremacist
- 7:36Speaker 1: is very fine people. That's not what happened in Charlottesville,
- 7:39Speaker 1: even though Biden has claimed that that was part of
- 7:42Speaker 1: why he decided to run for president. That's how far
- 7:45Speaker 1: this lie has gone. And yet nobody in the news
- 7:49Speaker 1: media is willing to say, hey, wait a minute. No
- 7:51Speaker 1: one in the mainstream news media, Joe, this didn't happen.
- 7:54Speaker 1: No one's ever confronted him about this. He keeps repeating it.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Even when he did his one post withdraw interview with CBS,
- 8:03Speaker 1: nobody ever says, this is a mister president, why do
- 8:06Speaker 1: you keep repeating this lie? But he also told a
- 8:09Speaker 1: few other lies, like he and Kamala Harris worked hard
- 8:12Speaker 1: to reopen schools after COVID. What a load of crap
- 8:16Speaker 1: that was. That was a complete and total joke, a
- 8:21Speaker 1: total lie. They did everything they possibly could to not
- 8:25Speaker 1: reopen schools, not that the federal government had much power
- 8:28Speaker 1: over that to begin with. And then related to the
- 8:31Speaker 1: COVID panic, he actually had the audacity to declare victory
- 8:36Speaker 1: in the battle over Big Pharma. You made a huge
- 8:40Speaker 1: deal about that. We defeated We finally defeated Big Pharma.
- 8:44Speaker 1: This was the president that mandated mandated.
- 8:51Speaker 2: A crappy vaccine which made Big Pharma billions of dollars
- 8:58Speaker 2: and caused all sorts of of residual harm, the likes
- 9:02Speaker 2: of which we may never know.
- 9:04Speaker 1: But this is just delusional stuff. But the bigger issue
- 9:08Speaker 1: from my perspective is what Democrats did to Joe Biden
- 9:12Speaker 1: and how they have completely and totally gotten away with it.
- 9:19Speaker 1: And they have. It's amazing. Even I did not think
- 9:23Speaker 1: it was possible. It's partially why I thought that Democrats
- 9:27Speaker 1: were in a trap. There was a noose, it was
- 9:31Speaker 1: gonna be almost impossible for them to get out of it.
- 9:34Speaker 1: I had a gut feeling they might figure out a
- 9:36Speaker 1: way to do so, but I did not imagine it
- 9:38Speaker 1: would be this easy. And it's been this easy largely,
- 9:42Speaker 1: if not totally, because the news media has been right
- 9:46Speaker 1: along for the ride the whole way. They have been
- 9:50Speaker 1: the co pilot of the Democratic Party when it comes
- 9:54Speaker 1: to navigating this potential storm with regard to getting rid
- 9:58Speaker 1: of Joe Biden and inserting Kamala Harris without any division,
- 10:04Speaker 1: without an open process, without an open convention, without any votes,
- 10:08Speaker 1: and while still maintaining themselves somehow as the Party of
- 10:12Speaker 1: Democracy and before Biden spoke on Monday night. This was
- 10:19Speaker 1: before prime time of the night one of the Democratic Convention.
- 10:23Speaker 1: There was a moment on CNN that belongs in the
- 10:29Speaker 1: mythological Death of Journalism Museum. If there ever is a
- 10:34Speaker 1: Death of Journalism museum, which there ought to be, this
- 10:37Speaker 1: deserves its own exhibit because I could not possibly have
- 10:43Speaker 1: made this up. When I watched it, I was like,
- 10:46Speaker 1: oh my god, this is unbelievable, even by the standards
- 10:51Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four news media. And there's so many
- 10:55Speaker 1: different elements of this clip that I'm about to play
- 10:57Speaker 1: for you. I want to make sure I don't miss it.
- 11:01Speaker 1: The first is that involves Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.
- 11:06Speaker 1: They happened to have been the hosts of the debate
- 11:09Speaker 1: that basically started this whole situation where Biden crapped the bed.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying it was their faults, but they
- 11:18Speaker 1: were obviously there. They helped facilitate this. I would actually
- 11:22Speaker 1: claim that John King on CNN had maybe more influence
- 11:27Speaker 1: over the reaction to the debate than Tapper and Bash
- 11:32Speaker 1: did in hosting it, because it was John King who
- 11:35Speaker 1: lit that flame immediately after the debate was over, and
- 11:41Speaker 1: that flame turned into an inferno and eventually helped lead
- 11:45Speaker 1: to Joe Biden being forced out of the race. But
- 11:47Speaker 1: here we have the two people who hosted that debate
- 11:51Speaker 1: and for interviewing Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House,
- 11:56Speaker 1: but the woman who by all accounts had the most
- 12:00Speaker 1: to do with forcing Joe Biden out of the race,
- 12:05Speaker 1: and they're interviewing her at the convention, and of course,
- 12:08Speaker 1: for the first portion of the interview, they're completely avoiding
- 12:13Speaker 1: the elephant in the room. And I'm actually thinking, is
- 12:16Speaker 1: it possible that we're going to have Jake Tapper and
- 12:20Speaker 1: Dana Bash, who hosted this debate that started the whole thing,
- 12:26Speaker 1: interviewing the woman who stuck the knife in Joe Biden's
- 12:30Speaker 1: back when it came down to it, and they're never
- 12:33Speaker 1: going to discuss her role in forcing Biden out of
- 12:38Speaker 1: the race. Is that really possible? Well, as the interview
- 12:42Speaker 1: came to an end, Jake Tapper very sheepishly, very tentatively clearly,
- 12:51Speaker 1: he actually almost admits this in this clip. In fact,
- 12:54Speaker 1: he does admit this if you listen very closely. He
- 12:57Speaker 1: actually says that he asks this question because it's on
- 13:02Speaker 1: his script, and he says something about how they have
- 13:06Speaker 1: his pet held hostage. I think a cat. I'm like,
- 13:11Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. He's joking, I think. But the point
- 13:16Speaker 1: here is that he clearly doesn't even want to ask
- 13:19Speaker 1: the question. He gets scalded by Nancy Pelosi for asking
- 13:26Speaker 1: the question. She says, why are we even talking about this?
- 13:31Speaker 1: After she effectively acknowledges, yeah, I ordered the code read
- 13:37Speaker 1: on Joe Biden. You're goddamn right, I ordered the code red.
- 13:41Speaker 1: I mean that's basically if you read Between the Lives,
- 13:44Speaker 1: That's what she said. But you know, I had to
- 13:46Speaker 1: do what I had to do. Let's move on, why
- 13:48Speaker 1: are you bothering me with this? And then after she
- 13:51Speaker 1: says why are we even asking about this? Tapper and Bash,
- 13:56Speaker 1: almost in a comedy routine, fall all over each other,
- 14:00Speaker 1: literally fall all over each other, essentially apologizing for even
- 14:06Speaker 1: discussing this. They're all laughing like they're in a coffee clutch.
- 14:10Speaker 1: They're all on the same team, and we're never going
- 14:14Speaker 1: to really get to the bottom of what actually transpired
- 14:17Speaker 1: in what is probably the most significant development in the
- 14:22Speaker 1: modern history of American politics, depending on how this all
- 14:25Speaker 1: turns out. So here is the longer version of this clip.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Now the shorter version went viral for understandable reasons. I
- 14:35Speaker 1: taped this off my own television because I wanted to
- 14:38Speaker 1: make sure I had the full version, and I was
- 14:42Speaker 1: not able to find the longer version and a better
- 14:45Speaker 1: audio quality. So I apologize for the audio quality. I
- 14:49Speaker 1: actually I was so incensed by this, and this happened
- 14:54Speaker 1: right at dinner time for us, so I had to
- 14:57Speaker 1: ask my children and my wife if they could keep
- 15:00Speaker 1: it down so that I could get halfway decent audio
- 15:04Speaker 1: from our television set. And you know, much to my surprise,
- 15:08Speaker 1: they actually allowed me to do so, because that's a
- 15:10Speaker 1: big ask in my family, asking for quiet so that
- 15:14Speaker 1: I can record something off the television. But that's why
- 15:17Speaker 1: the audio quality is not the best. But I just
- 15:20Speaker 1: had to play this full clip on CNN Night one
- 15:24Speaker 1: of the number kind of convention Jake Tapper, Dana Bash,
- 15:28Speaker 1: and Nancy Pelosi, three of the key figures in the
- 15:32Speaker 1: Biden coup. And here's what that sounded like.
- 15:37Speaker 3: It does seem like there's some residual back blood or resentment.
- 15:40Speaker 3: And I'm wondering if you've spoken to him and and
- 15:43Speaker 3: and what your response is to that sometimes.
- 15:45Speaker 4: You just have to take a punch for the children,
- 15:49Speaker 4: and that's what.
- 15:49Speaker 5: You're doing right now.
- 15:50Speaker 1: You're just gonna take a punch for the children. Now,
- 15:54Speaker 1: I don't know. An interview with me a bunch, I
- 16:00Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not I wouldn't ever, But he said
- 16:03Speaker 1: she doesn't want to fight.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Nobody wants to have a fight with Nancy Pelosi at
- 16:06Speaker 3: this time.
- 16:06Speaker 4: You know what what I have to do. Right he
- 16:12Speaker 4: made the decision for the country. My concern is not
- 16:16Speaker 4: about the president was about his campaigns, as he has
- 16:21Speaker 4: seen the exuberance excitement that has come forth in our country.
- 16:27Speaker 4: I just did an event for one of our members
- 16:30Speaker 4: in Illinois and their currencon today. Immediately he got eleven
- 16:34Speaker 4: hundred volunteers into his campaign as soon as that announcement.
- 16:38Speaker 3: No nobody is questioning the fact that the Democratic Party
- 16:42Speaker 3: seems much better positioned right now than it did four
- 16:44Speaker 3: weeks and two days ago. There's no question about that.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Former Speaker Pelosi, why.
- 16:48Speaker 4: Have we been talking about it?
- 16:52Speaker 3: They're holding they're holding holding my pad hospital Speaker Pelosi,
- 16:58Speaker 3: thank you so much. We're about to show you a
- 17:00Speaker 3: video from the Democratic Party. They are talking a lot
- 17:03Speaker 3: about a thing called Project twenty twenty five.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Let's take a look, as folks. Obviously I am as
- 17:12Speaker 1: cynical about the modern news media as anybody. This is
- 17:15Speaker 1: the death of journalism podcasts, but even I was completely
- 17:20Speaker 1: and totally stunned by what transpired there, and it is
- 17:25Speaker 1: so telling. It is so I've been saying that the
- 17:30Speaker 1: mainstream news media has been acting as if they are
- 17:33Speaker 1: the campaign managers for the Democratic Party during this entire process,
- 17:37Speaker 1: and that right there is basically the smoking gun as
- 17:41Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, because there you have. I mean,
- 17:47Speaker 1: I'm as ardently anti conspiracy theorist as anybody on the planet,
- 17:51Speaker 1: and I'm not even remotely suggesting a conspiracy theory here.
- 17:54Speaker 1: But the fact that it's Tapper and Bash, the people
- 17:57Speaker 1: who hosted that debate afraid to ask Nancy Pelosi about
- 18:03Speaker 1: her role in taking out Joe Biden, and then the
- 18:07Speaker 1: laughing and the apologizing, I mean, they are so clearly
- 18:12Speaker 1: all on the same team. Can you imagine can you
- 18:16Speaker 1: imagine a remotely similar scene ever occurring if we were
- 18:21Speaker 1: talking about Republican politics, It never would happen in a
- 18:27Speaker 1: remotely imaginary world. You could never even conceive of something
- 18:32Speaker 1: like that happening because they're all on the same team,
- 18:36Speaker 1: and because of what happened night one, even though Biden
- 18:41Speaker 1: got disrespected, he had his big moment, everyone cheered, the
- 18:45Speaker 1: media went along. We all pretended, and to the vast
- 18:49Speaker 1: majority of the public, they're not gonna understand any of
- 18:54Speaker 1: what really transpired here. What I'm talking about is pretty
- 18:57Speaker 1: inside baseball. The average swing voter that's gonna determine this
- 19:02Speaker 1: election is not going to be thinking about any of this.
- 19:06Speaker 1: They're not going to be exposed to any of this
- 19:08Speaker 1: because the media is just ignored it. They're pretending it
- 19:12Speaker 1: didn't happen. They're they're they're creating narratives that didn't really exist.
- 19:17Speaker 1: You know, Joe Biden did this voluntarily, that sort of
- 19:20Speaker 1: horse crap, and it's all gonna be forgotten by the
- 19:24Speaker 1: time that the votes are actually cast and counted. Heck,
- 19:28Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a tough time even remembering
- 19:31Speaker 1: that Joe Biden was ever the Democratic nominee. I really
- 19:34Speaker 1: do believe that that's how much they're gonna revise history,
- 19:39Speaker 1: how much, how how much they're gonna memory hole Joe
- 19:42Speaker 1: Biden from here on out. But that clip I just
- 19:46Speaker 1: played is a large part of how and why Democrats
- 19:51Speaker 1: have gotten away with this, and now they officially have,
- 19:55Speaker 1: now that we're through the Joe Biden Democratic speech, and
- 20:00Speaker 1: obviously Kamala Harris has been nominated, and you know, that
- 20:04Speaker 1: first night went pretty decently well from Democratic perspectives, and
- 20:08Speaker 1: even Nancy Pelosi now has put this issue to bed
- 20:11Speaker 1: and basically told the media, I'm done being asked about this.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Why are we talking about it? Why are we talking
- 20:16Speaker 1: about it? Why are we talking about I got it
- 20:21Speaker 1: was the nine to eleven of politics that just happened
- 20:24Speaker 1: a month ago, and you know, we're just we're not
- 20:27Speaker 1: going to talk about it. We're never going to get
- 20:29Speaker 1: to the bottom of this now. Of course, we're not
- 20:30Speaker 1: going to get to the bottom of this, because that's
- 20:32Speaker 1: not good for the Democratic Party. That's the whole media
- 20:36Speaker 1: playing the role of campaign manager that I keep talking about.
- 20:40Speaker 1: But Democrats have now officially gotten away with it far
- 20:44Speaker 1: more cleanly than they probably ever thought was possible. I
- 20:51Speaker 1: really do believe that. I don't think they thought they
- 20:53Speaker 1: could get away with this as clearly and totally as
- 20:58Speaker 1: they have. And you know, meanwhile, Republicans, I should have
- 21:03Speaker 1: mentioned this in the last episode of the podcast. I
- 21:06Speaker 1: think I intended to, and it just slipped my mind.
- 21:09Speaker 1: But we have this bizarre upside down Alice in Wonderland world,
- 21:14Speaker 1: where you know, Democrats are somehow still the party of
- 21:17Speaker 1: Democracy despite pulling off this boondoggle that's as undemocratic as
- 21:22Speaker 1: anything I've ever seen in presidential politics. Meanwhile, Republicans have
- 21:29Speaker 1: their nominee dictated by the democratic process in a way
- 21:37Speaker 1: that their party elders and elites surely knew was not
- 21:43Speaker 1: going to be in their best interest. The reality of
- 21:48Speaker 1: the Trump nomination this past election cycle, as much as
- 21:52Speaker 1: there was a primary process, which there really wasn't nearly
- 21:55Speaker 1: as much as there should have been, but there was
- 21:57Speaker 1: at least a process. There was an Iowa Coca, there
- 22:00Speaker 1: were two major candidates, Nicky Haley and Ronda Santis that
- 22:04Speaker 1: ran against Donald Trump, that were legitimate, and you know,
- 22:08Speaker 1: Trump was a coward and dodged the debates. But the
- 22:13Speaker 1: reality is there was an open primary process that was
- 22:17Speaker 1: dictated basically by two things. The news media is unfair
- 22:23Speaker 1: attacks on Donald Trump combined with the lawfair against Donald Trump,
- 22:28Speaker 1: all those indictments. It's very very clear that if there
- 22:32Speaker 1: was any chance to beat Trump in the primary process,
- 22:35Speaker 1: that was ended by all the indictments and the media
- 22:39Speaker 1: reaction to those indictments. So effectively, the Republican nominee was
- 22:46Speaker 1: selected by liberals in the media and liberals in these
- 22:52Speaker 1: jurisdictions that decided to try to indict Donald Trump, mostly,
- 22:57Speaker 1: if not totally unfairly. Some of them were, but obviously
- 23:01Speaker 1: the one in New York that ended up in convictions
- 23:03Speaker 1: was totally unfair. All of this helped Donald Trump greatly,
- 23:08Speaker 1: and it forced Republicans to do exactly what Democrats avoided
- 23:14Speaker 1: having to do by dodging an open convention, which was
- 23:19Speaker 1: the Republicans were taken hostage by the Maga cult, by
- 23:24Speaker 1: the extremists within their party because they respected the whole
- 23:31Speaker 1: quote unquote democratic process, a democratic process that was greatly
- 23:35Speaker 1: manipulated by liberals in quote unquote law enforcement and liberals
- 23:41Speaker 1: in the news media. So the three greatest forces within
- 23:45Speaker 1: the Republican primary process were liberal prosecutors, liberal news media members,
- 23:53Speaker 1: and whack jobs within the Republican base Maga cult that
- 23:59Speaker 1: are impossible to defeat in a multi candidate primary race.
- 24:05Speaker 1: And so Republicans i guarantee you the Nancy Pelosis of
- 24:09Speaker 1: the Republican Party, the Mitch mcconnald's, that type of people.
- 24:14Speaker 1: They knew this was a terrible idea. They knew that
- 24:19Speaker 1: nominating Donald Trump again had enormous problems and issues related
- 24:24Speaker 1: to it. And I maintained that if after Donald Trump's convictions,
- 24:31Speaker 1: his whole numbers had completely tanked, completely tanked, to the
- 24:36Speaker 1: point where everyone outside of the Maga cult on the
- 24:39Speaker 1: Republican side was going, oh my god, what are we
- 24:42Speaker 1: gonna do. We gotta get rid of Donald Trump. He's
- 24:44Speaker 1: going to lose. And Republicans had tried to do that,
- 24:48Speaker 1: I guarantee you they would have gotten more pushback from
- 24:52Speaker 1: the media for being anti democratic and going against democratic
- 24:56Speaker 1: norms and the going against the will of their priory.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Then Democrats did Why because obviously the media would have
- 25:05Speaker 1: had a self interest in keeping Trump on the ballot.
- 25:10Speaker 1: One he's good for ratings and content, but two because
- 25:14Speaker 1: he would then be perceived as a short loser. This again,
- 25:18Speaker 1: it's the news media acting as democratic campaign manager rather
- 25:23Speaker 1: than remotely objective journalists. And they've gotten away with it.
- 25:29Speaker 1: They've now gotten away with it. The Tapper bashed Pelosi
- 25:33Speaker 1: soundclip to me was the nail and the coffin that
- 25:39Speaker 1: ended any chance that they weren't going to get away
- 25:42Speaker 1: with it. And yet here we have Joe Biden claiming laughably,
- 25:49Speaker 1: the Democrats are the party of freedom and democracy. He
- 25:52Speaker 1: actually said that very clearly, very loudly. Virtually everything he
- 25:57Speaker 1: said was very loud for some reason. But Democrats are
- 26:01Speaker 1: the party of freedom and democracy, despite the fact that
- 26:05Speaker 1: they have just installed installed a presidential nominee who has
- 26:12Speaker 1: never received one vote for president ever ever. I mean,
- 26:19Speaker 1: so this is just upside down world stuff. Meanwhile, Republicans,
- 26:26Speaker 1: you know, in my view, not as much as they
- 26:28Speaker 1: should be in the world of Trump. But Republicans are
- 26:32Speaker 1: really the party of freedom and democracy if you look
- 26:35Speaker 1: at what's actually transpired in reality. I mean, it's democracy
- 26:40Speaker 1: that resulted in Donald Trump being the Republican nominee. And
- 26:45Speaker 1: with regard to freedom, at least Republicans like Ron DeSantis
- 26:49Speaker 1: and some others Brian Kemp and Georgia stood up for
- 26:53Speaker 1: some semblance of freedom when it came to the COVID panic.
- 26:57Speaker 1: I mean, that was the greatest threat to freedom that
- 26:59Speaker 1: we've seen in the mind or history of America. Republicans
- 27:03Speaker 1: weren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Certainly Trump wasn't,
- 27:06Speaker 1: but Republicans did a hell of a lot better job
- 27:08Speaker 1: in general than Democrats did. But we're living in a
- 27:11Speaker 1: subside down world where we're a president who had a
- 27:16Speaker 1: coup levied against him can stand up on national television
- 27:21Speaker 1: at eleven thirty a night on the East Coast and
- 27:25Speaker 1: claim that his party is the party of freedom and
- 27:28Speaker 1: democracy when it's exactly the opposite. It's exactly the opposite
- 27:34Speaker 1: of reality. Now, I know there's a lot of Conservatives
- 27:38Speaker 1: that are hoping, against hope that the Democratic Convention is
- 27:43Speaker 1: actually going to be good for Republicans and good for
- 27:48Speaker 1: the cause of defeating Kamala Harris, because it will allow
- 27:52Speaker 1: Democrats to let their freak flag fly. The people will
- 27:56Speaker 1: be able to see for themselves just how nutty and
- 28:00Speaker 1: crazy these people really are. And there's no question that
- 28:05Speaker 1: in the first couple of nights of this convention there
- 28:09Speaker 1: was plenty of craziness on display if we lived in
- 28:14Speaker 1: a rational world. But I don't believe we live in
- 28:18Speaker 1: a rational world anymore, and I doubt that any of
- 28:22Speaker 1: this craziness will have a significant impact on swing voters,
- 28:28Speaker 1: the voters that will actually determine who wins this presidential
- 28:31Speaker 1: election and which party is going to control the Senate
- 28:35Speaker 1: and the House. That's just my pessimism about where we
- 28:39Speaker 1: are in America and what the average American voter is
- 28:43Speaker 1: really all about now. I mean, let's be clear, the
- 28:47Speaker 1: average American voter now is very ignorant, and is very
- 28:51Speaker 1: easily manipulated, and really, frankly doesn't even consume that much
- 28:56Speaker 1: political media. When the conventions come around, some of this
- 29:00Speaker 1: stuff may reach them in peripheral ways indirectly, they're only
- 29:06Speaker 1: going to get headlines at best, and the media is
- 29:10Speaker 1: going to control that. So the media, again acting as
- 29:13Speaker 1: campaign manager for the Democratic Party, is not going to
- 29:17Speaker 1: emphasize or focus on any of the crazy parts, or
- 29:22Speaker 1: the hypocritical parts, or the dangerous parts of what's being
- 29:26Speaker 1: said at the Democratic Invention. So it's not going to
- 29:29Speaker 1: have any real impact. And there's lots of different things
- 29:33Speaker 1: that I could focus on about how nutty elements of
- 29:37Speaker 1: the content of the Democratic Convention already has been, but
- 29:41Speaker 1: I want to just play one particular clip because it
- 29:44Speaker 1: deals with one of my all time pet peeves and
- 29:47Speaker 1: will always be one of my pet peeves is the
- 29:50Speaker 1: reaction to the COVID panic and how it's really amazing.
- 29:56Speaker 1: You know, Republicans didn't talk about COVID in my recollection
- 30:00Speaker 1: at all during the convention. Now, there are a lot
- 30:03Speaker 1: of reasons for that. Parts is because the convention was
- 30:05Speaker 1: all about Trump, you know, being touched by the hand
- 30:09Speaker 1: of God to survive his assassination attempt, which I think
- 30:12Speaker 1: was a mistake, especially in retrospect. But I don't recall
- 30:17Speaker 1: anything about COVID.
- 30:18Speaker 6: Now.
- 30:18Speaker 1: If ron DeSantis had been the nominee, obviously the COVID
- 30:21Speaker 1: reaction would have been a big part of the Republican convention.
- 30:26Speaker 1: But Democrats have completely revised history on COVID and seem
- 30:31Speaker 1: to not be bashful or shy about it at all.
- 30:34Speaker 1: I've already referenced that Joe Biden tried to claim that
- 30:39Speaker 1: he helped open up the schools and he defeated Big Pharma,
- 30:42Speaker 1: which is just a lotal, total bull crap. But I
- 30:46Speaker 1: got to play this clip from Georgia Senator Warnock because
- 30:51Speaker 1: he does something that I have been warning about for
- 30:55Speaker 1: a long time with regard to how Democrats are going
- 30:59Speaker 1: to use COVID in the future weren't act unabashedly, very
- 31:06Speaker 1: clearly decided to use COVID during his convention speech to
- 31:13Speaker 1: make the argument that we live in a world where
- 31:18Speaker 1: we are obligated to give health care, apparently for free
- 31:25Speaker 1: if you listen to this. Logically, we are obligated to
- 31:30Speaker 1: give health care to everybody, by the way, not just
- 31:33Speaker 1: in the United States, but apparently around the world, because
- 31:37Speaker 1: COVID taught us that our health is effectively impacted by
- 31:44Speaker 1: other people's health and vice versa, and so therefore, because
- 31:50Speaker 1: we are all interconnected, as COVID told us, therefore we
- 31:55Speaker 1: have an obligation and a self interest in taking care
- 32:02Speaker 1: of everyone else's health care. And listen to this from
- 32:06Speaker 1: Senator Warnock from Georgia at the Democratic Invention and the
- 32:11Speaker 1: crowd reaction to this lunacy.
- 32:15Speaker 6: And in a strange way, in a strange way, the
- 32:21Speaker 6: pandemic taught us how a contagious airborne disease means that
- 32:29Speaker 6: I have a personal stake in the health of my neighbor.
- 32:35Speaker 6: If she's sick, I may get sick. Also, her health
- 32:38Speaker 6: care is good for my health. I'm just trying to
- 32:43Speaker 6: tell you that we are as close in our humanity
- 32:51Speaker 6: as a cult.
- 32:53Speaker 7: I need my neighbor's children to be okay so that
- 32:57Speaker 7: my children.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Will be okay. I need all of my.
- 33:01Speaker 7: Neighbour's children to be okay. Poor inner city children in
- 33:05Speaker 7: Atlanta and poor children of Appalatia. I need the poor
- 33:10Speaker 7: children of Israel and the poor children of Gaza.
- 33:15Speaker 1: I need Israelis.
- 33:16Speaker 6: I'm Palesidians.
- 33:17Speaker 1: I need those in.
- 33:18Speaker 8: The Congo, those in Hades, those in Ukraine. I need
- 33:23Speaker 8: American children on goost sides of the track to be okay,
- 33:29Speaker 8: because we are all God's children.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Now, my guess is most people who saw that probably
- 33:38Speaker 1: didn't think it through and didn't realize how completely insane
- 33:44Speaker 1: that is. And of course nobody in the mainstream news
- 33:46Speaker 1: media is going to say, hey, wait a minute, what
- 33:48Speaker 1: was this from Senator Warnock from Georgia. What does he
- 33:53Speaker 1: mean by this? And I actually think that this was
- 33:57Speaker 1: even more significant than it might appear on its surface,
- 34:01Speaker 1: because I actually think he's not just making the argument
- 34:05Speaker 1: that we are obligated and it's in our self interest
- 34:09Speaker 1: to make sure that everybody around us is healthy. I
- 34:15Speaker 1: think he's actually making the argument, maybe subconsciously, that I
- 34:21Speaker 1: have warned about since the COVID panic, that it's not
- 34:25Speaker 1: just us being obligated to take care of everybody else's health.
- 34:30Speaker 1: It's that everybody else has a say over how we
- 34:34Speaker 1: handle our health and that's really dangerous. The first theory
- 34:41Speaker 1: is expensive as hell, we'll bankrupt us all. The second
- 34:46Speaker 1: part of this ends our personal freedom from the Party
- 34:50Speaker 1: of Freedom and Democracy forever. And I really truly believe
- 34:56Speaker 1: that that is part of what Warnock is talking about here,
- 34:59Speaker 1: taking this out of the theoretical and putting into the practical.
- 35:02Speaker 1: I've always said that, you know, this is something I'm
- 35:07Speaker 1: probably the only person that's ever mentioned is in public
- 35:09Speaker 1: that I'm aware of, that there's a direct connection between
- 35:13Speaker 1: the COVID panic and the end of football as we
- 35:16Speaker 1: know it, And obviously Georgia being a big football state,
- 35:20Speaker 1: I found it this particularly interesting, and I really don't
- 35:24Speaker 1: think that I'm over extrapolating here, because if you follow
- 35:28Speaker 1: this logic and we're responsible for everybody else's health care,
- 35:34Speaker 1: that means that they also get to say over how
- 35:36Speaker 1: we handle our health decisions, and that to me has
- 35:40Speaker 1: always been the death knell for football as we know it,
- 35:44Speaker 1: because at the core of football as we know it
- 35:47Speaker 1: is people being able to make their own risk reward
- 35:52Speaker 1: decisions about their own health. Well, what's ending football is
- 35:56Speaker 1: we as a society have decided no, no, no, no, no,
- 36:00Speaker 1: you can't make those decisions for yourself anymore. We're gonna
- 36:03Speaker 1: make them for you. We're gonna completely alter the game
- 36:06Speaker 1: and the sport because we don't want to have to
- 36:09Speaker 1: live with the guilt of seeing people get brain injuries
- 36:14Speaker 1: and all sorts of other injuries. So we're gonna make
- 36:17Speaker 1: that decision for you. It's in the best interest of society,
- 36:20Speaker 1: and we think it's in your best interest, So we're
- 36:23Speaker 1: gonna do this for everybody. And that's the philosophy of this,
- 36:29Speaker 1: and it's not just football. I'm just using that as
- 36:32Speaker 1: an example. This is the end of medical freedom. And
- 36:34Speaker 1: we saw it during COVID when they mandated vaccines and masks,
- 36:39Speaker 1: even in situations where that was completely nonsensical. And they
- 36:44Speaker 1: did it partially because of virtue signaling, but partially because
- 36:47Speaker 1: I think that they were promoting this entire philosophy that
- 36:51Speaker 1: we get to the side for you, what's best for you.
- 36:53Speaker 1: You don't get to make your own health decisions, your
- 36:56Speaker 1: own medical decisions anymore. Which is awfully considering that the
- 37:01Speaker 1: biggest issue Democrats think they have in this election is
- 37:04Speaker 1: the issue of abortion and obviously quote unquote pro choice
- 37:09Speaker 1: and a woman having complete authority over her own body.
- 37:13Speaker 1: I mean, the hypocrisy is just rich and deep here.
- 37:16Speaker 1: But I think what Senator Warnock said there is incredibly troubling,
- 37:21Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that very few people,
- 37:24Speaker 1: maybe nobody even on the right, is going to point out,
- 37:27Speaker 1: at least not in a way that it's worthy of
- 37:30Speaker 1: being destroyed over, because this is our entire way of
- 37:35Speaker 1: life that's being threatened here, and nobody seems to be
- 37:40Speaker 1: realizing it. Nobody seems to be pointing it out. But
- 37:43Speaker 1: that's just a great example of one of many of
- 37:46Speaker 1: the lunacy, the insanity that's on display here during the
- 37:50Speaker 1: Democratic Convention that I am quite confident is never going
- 37:54Speaker 1: to seep into the consciousness of the average American voter. Now,
- 37:58Speaker 1: one of the other things that this Democratic Convention that
- 38:02Speaker 1: I've been warning conservatives about, because I've been seeing this online,
- 38:05Speaker 1: this wish casting, this great fervent hope that this is
- 38:09Speaker 1: going to turn into Chicago nineteen sixty eight when it
- 38:13Speaker 1: comes to the protesters, the pro Hamas, anti Israel protesters,
- 38:17Speaker 1: that this was going to turn into a shit show,
- 38:19Speaker 1: and there was let's get the popcorn out, this is
- 38:22Speaker 1: going to be great, And I kept saying, first of all,
- 38:27Speaker 1: the level to which this would have to get to
- 38:30Speaker 1: break through the consciousness of the average voter is extraordinary,
- 38:36Speaker 1: because the news media is going to do everything they
- 38:39Speaker 1: possibly can to ignore this issue, at least the mainstream
- 38:43Speaker 1: liberal media. They're not going to focus on this. So
- 38:48Speaker 1: it's going to have to get to insane levels. Lots
- 38:50Speaker 1: of people are going to have to die basically before
- 38:53Speaker 1: the media says, oh wow, this has become a shit
- 38:56Speaker 1: show and really focus on it, and who wants First
- 39:01Speaker 1: of all, no one's rooting for that. You shouldn't be
- 39:03Speaker 1: rooting for that. But second of all, you know that's
- 39:06Speaker 1: not a likely scenario. And my prediction here was that
- 39:10Speaker 1: there would be protests and that there would be some
- 39:13Speaker 1: good video and that there would be some arrests, but
- 39:16Speaker 1: that this was not going to become a major narrative
- 39:19Speaker 1: surrounding this convention because the media simply wouldn't let it
- 39:24Speaker 1: become one unless something really insane or unexpected happened. Well,
- 39:30Speaker 1: just to prove how much the media is protecting the
- 39:35Speaker 1: Democratic Party on the issue of the protests. The proof
- 39:39Speaker 1: came from Joe Biden's own speech because, apparently going outside
- 39:45Speaker 1: of what was on as teleprompter, Biden ad lived ad
- 39:50Speaker 1: lived the statement effectively supporting supporting the protesters by saying
- 39:57Speaker 1: that they actually have a point, and here's what that
- 40:01Speaker 1: sounded like.
- 40:06Speaker 5: Then we'll keep working to bring hostages home and end
- 40:11Speaker 5: the war in Gaza and bring peace of security to
- 40:15Speaker 5: the Middle East. As you know, I wrote a peace
- 40:26Speaker 5: treaty for Gaza a few days ago. I put forward
- 40:30Speaker 5: a proposal that has brought us closer to doing that
- 40:34Speaker 5: than we've done. Since October seventh. We're working around the clock,
- 40:38Speaker 5: my Secretary of State, to rent a wider war and
- 40:41Speaker 5: reunite hostages to their families, and surge humanitarian health and
- 40:46Speaker 5: food assistance into Gaza.
- 40:48Speaker 1: Now then.
- 40:54Speaker 5: The civilian suffering of the Palaes Indian people, and finally,
- 40:59Speaker 5: finally they deliver a cease firing.
- 41:01Speaker 1: And this war.
- 41:16Speaker 5: Those protesters out in the street, they have a point.
- 41:20Speaker 5: A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides.
- 41:26Speaker 1: Now, there's a couple of things about what Biden said
- 41:28Speaker 1: there that are remarkable. First of all, he goes off
- 41:32Speaker 1: script to support the pro Amas, anti Israel, potentially anti
- 41:40Speaker 1: Semitic protesters. That's amazing and there ought to be a
- 41:44Speaker 1: price to pay for that, saying that they have a point, right.
- 41:48Speaker 1: But even more remarkable is that in the same speech
- 41:51Speaker 1: he repeated the Charlottesville lie, which was based upon basically
- 41:57Speaker 1: Trump having said something which he didn't actually say regarding
- 42:02Speaker 1: the Charlottesville situation, where they're very fine people on both sides.
- 42:07Speaker 1: That's effectively what Biden was saying there. Well, they have
- 42:10Speaker 1: the protesters have a point too. So the hypocrisy there
- 42:14Speaker 1: is off the charts. And let's be clear, what Trump
- 42:18Speaker 1: was accused of saying regarding Charlottesville was a lie. Here
- 42:23Speaker 1: we have Biden in his farewell addressed to the Democratic
- 42:28Speaker 1: Convention effectively, at least indirectly supporting the pro Hamas anti
- 42:36Speaker 1: Israel protesters, which should have at least had the media
- 42:41Speaker 1: create more focus on the protests that are going on
- 42:44Speaker 1: because Biden just acknowledged them in his farewell address, But
- 42:50Speaker 1: he also acknowledged them in a way that should have
- 42:53Speaker 1: been deemed outrageous, especially regarding the fact that his his
- 42:58Speaker 1: vice presidential now presidential pick, but his vice president, who
- 43:02Speaker 1: he chose and endorsed as the presidential nominee, decided not
- 43:07Speaker 1: to go with josh Shapiro as her vice presidential nominee
- 43:12Speaker 1: governor of Pennsylvania, clearly because he's Jewish and pro israel
- 43:18Speaker 1: I mean. So, this is one of those things that
- 43:20Speaker 1: should have sparked a fire of controversy on multiple levels.
- 43:25Speaker 1: But because it happened one eleven forty five for whatever
- 43:29Speaker 1: it was Eastern time at night, and two because the
- 43:32Speaker 1: news media has no interest in focusing on it, acting
- 43:35Speaker 1: like the campaign manager of the Democratic Party, this did
- 43:38Speaker 1: not create a firestorm. It should have. It didn't, but
- 43:44Speaker 1: it should have on multiple levels. It should have exposed
- 43:47Speaker 1: the Charlottesville lie. It should have put focus on the
- 43:51Speaker 1: protests that are happening, and it should have really had
- 43:55Speaker 1: Biden and the Democratic Party have to face the firing
- 44:00Speaker 1: squad metaphorically for their position on Israel, especially after the
- 44:06Speaker 1: Joshapiro snub, But none of that has happened. Now, juxtapose
- 44:13Speaker 1: what Biden gets away with and what Harris obviously gets
- 44:17Speaker 1: away with when it comes to the media, with what
- 44:20Speaker 1: Donald Trump has to deal with. There was a remarkable moment,
- 44:24Speaker 1: and this was one of those medium malpractice situations that
- 44:28Speaker 1: is so incredibly telling. But there was a narrative that
- 44:32Speaker 1: started up during the Democratic Convention that was actually started
- 44:37Speaker 1: as far as I can tell, by the ABC anchor
- 44:40Speaker 1: who will be co hosting the presidential debate between Trump
- 44:45Speaker 1: and Harris, where they teed up Michigan Governor Kathy Whitmer
- 44:51Speaker 1: on this issue of this town in Michigan that has
- 44:55Speaker 1: apparently been associated with white supremacy and the KKK. Now,
- 45:01Speaker 1: those KKK supporters have indicated that they have support for Trump.
- 45:06Speaker 1: I mean, this is just ridiculousness on so many different levels,
- 45:10Speaker 1: one of which is, how the hell I've never understood this.
- 45:13Speaker 1: How the hell is a presidential candidate, or any candidate
- 45:17Speaker 1: of either party, how are they responsible for who supports them? Now,
- 45:23Speaker 1: you know, if it's particularly egregious nature of the support,
- 45:28Speaker 1: you know, people that you really don't want to be
- 45:30Speaker 1: associated with. I have no problem with you being asked
- 45:33Speaker 1: whether or not you disavow the support, though Republicans only
- 45:36Speaker 1: get asked about this. Democrats hardly ever get asked about
- 45:39Speaker 1: this to disavow support. But okay, you want to disavow it.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I don't agree with these people. And you know, it's
- 45:45Speaker 1: a free country. They can do what they want. But
- 45:48Speaker 1: you know, I don't appreciate their views. Whatever I mean,
- 45:52Speaker 1: that's fine. But somehow Trump was being attacked for visiting
- 45:58Speaker 1: a town in Michigan, like the whole town somehow is
- 46:04Speaker 1: being painted with his broad brush of white supremacy and
- 46:09Speaker 1: racism because of a few knuckleheads. And this becomes a
- 46:13Speaker 1: median narrative because Trump was visiting this town during the
- 46:18Speaker 1: Democratic Convention. So there was a media question a reporter
- 46:25Speaker 1: who asked Trump about the issue of white supremacy in
- 46:29Speaker 1: this town at an event where Trump was I think
- 46:33Speaker 1: speaking to police, to a police group, and much to
- 46:37Speaker 1: Trump's credit, he took this head on and basically had
- 46:41Speaker 1: a mic drop moment. Now, unfortunately the audio is not
- 46:45Speaker 1: particularly great, so you're gonna have to trust me when
- 46:48Speaker 1: I tell you what you're about to hear is a
- 46:51Speaker 1: reporter asking Trump about this issue of white supremacy in
- 46:56Speaker 1: this town. Trump and coming up to the microphone and asking, so,
- 47:02Speaker 1: can you remind me who visited here in twenty twenty one?
- 47:06Speaker 1: The answer is Joe Biden. I don't know if you're
- 47:09Speaker 1: gonna be able to hear that in this clip or not.
- 47:11Speaker 1: And that's when Trump basically dropped the mic. And so
- 47:15Speaker 1: here with shaky audio is what that sounded like.
- 47:21Speaker 3: Make sure, thank you everybody very much, thank you for coming.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Who was here in twenty twenty one. Thank you, thank
- 47:40Speaker 1: you everybody. Now, that was pretty good from Trump's perspective.
- 47:48Speaker 1: I don't know how many people outside of the conservative
- 47:50Speaker 1: bubble actually got to see it. By the way, for
- 47:53Speaker 1: the record, I made a mistaken for some reason called
- 47:56Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer. Probably I think it was much of combined
- 47:59Speaker 1: the governor of New York and Michigan in my brain,
- 48:02Speaker 1: but obviously the governor of Michigan is Gretchen Whitmer, not
- 48:05Speaker 1: Kathy Whitmer. But regardless, that's how that whole narrative began,
- 48:10Speaker 1: where during the mention, an ABC reporter tossed the softball
- 48:14Speaker 1: to Whitmer of Michigan basically to condemn portions of her
- 48:19Speaker 1: own state to try to make Donald Trump look bad.
- 48:22Speaker 1: But Trump, I think handled that situation particularly well. Again,
- 48:27Speaker 1: I don't know how many people actually are exposed to
- 48:31Speaker 1: it outside of the conservative bubble, But to me, the
- 48:33Speaker 1: biggest issue here is the remarkable and extreme media double
- 48:38Speaker 1: standard where Trump has to deal with something that Biden
- 48:42Speaker 1: never would and it's all within the context of the
- 48:45Speaker 1: insanity of Biden lying about what Trump said at Charlottesville
- 48:51Speaker 1: years ago, basically duplicating what Trump he thinks Trump said
- 48:56Speaker 1: at Charlottesville with the idea that the pro Amas and
- 49:00Speaker 1: Di Israel protesters have a point, and then Trump being
- 49:05Speaker 1: labeled because of a few knuckleheads in Michigan were members
- 49:09Speaker 1: of the KKK and might have supported him. It's just
- 49:12Speaker 1: all lunacy, and it's an indication of just how difficult
- 49:17Speaker 1: this is for Trump when you're going against the almost
- 49:21Speaker 1: the entire media industrial complex that has made it very
- 49:25Speaker 1: very clear they are on the side of the Democratic Party,
- 49:28Speaker 1: so much so that they're going to act as the
- 49:31Speaker 1: campaign manager for the Democratic Party. Thanks for listening to
